Rosemary’s Blessing of The Week

Loving God…

Give us hearts
where all may enter in,
ears to hear your call,
hands to do your will,
voices to sing your praise
and soul enough
to recognize You
in everything we do.

Rosemary’s Blessing 

Christ has no body now on earth but yours,

     no hands but yours,

     no feet but yours,

Yours are the eyes through which Christ’s

     compassion is to look out to the world,

Yours are the feet with which Christ is to

     go about doing good,

Yours are the hands, with which Christ is to  

     bless all people now.

From a prayer by Teresa of Avila (1515–1582)

Romans 13:  You know the time; it is the hour now for you to awake from sleep.  For our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed; the night is advanced, the day is at hand.

Rosemary’s Blessing:

it’s all a matter of surrender.
this one truth i’ve come to know.
nothing can be taken from you
once you’re willing to let go.

all the riches we have gathered
all the treasure that we seek,
all the earth and sky and oceans,
have been promised to the meek.

so, dance within the tune allotted,
whether it be brief or long,
pausing not to mark the measures;
rejoicing ever in the song.

David Reske
